Idle???

[Steele]

Hey all,
I have searched the forums, and I can't seem to find any one else with exactly the same problems as I am having today.

Car ran fine and dandy yesterday, but today less than 24 hours after parking her yesterday I went to start her and the idle went all crazy on me and she died. Started her up again and did the same thing. One MORE time and goosed her and she straightened out...for a bit. Now I have an N/A 2.3 and when I go into gear it is like I am goosing it. She barks the tires (drive and reverse) and at stop lights she will sometimes do the "diesel" thing (massive lowering of idle and sometimes kills).

Help! What's wrong with my baby???

Sorry, should have mentioned that the Mustang is a 93,

Hey, sorry about not getting back sooner. Right after I posted, my hard drive decided to take a dump. Fun fun fun huh?

Anyway, thanks for the reply Lboya. Went through and did all of that with the TPS and IAC and all that, even readjusted my Base Idle (gotta pull that back up btw. WAY too low now. Like 500 at times ) when I happened too look and one of my vacuum lines was disconnected. Not even sure where it leads too, but it did the trick.

So...to make a long story a bit shorter, ALWAYS look around before tearing into your engine LOL
